Preface 


The information contained in Folklife 
Sourcebook reflects the broad reach of profes¬ 
sional folklore and folklife networks and the 
many allied pursuits and activities involving 
folklore and folklife studies and program¬ 
ming in the arts and social sciences, public 
programs, and educational institutions. Be¬ 
cause folklife studies have been integrated 
into a variety of scholarly and public pursuits, 
the breadth and vitality of the field has some¬ 
times been underestimated or misunder¬ 
stood. A prominent objective of the first 
edition was to demonstrate the extent of re¬ 
sources and programs available. Its continu¬ 
ing use by professionals, members of the 
public, and administrators in government, 
museums, educational programs, and grant¬ 
making agencies suggests that it has contrib¬ 
uted significantly to the increased public and 
scholarly participation in and awareness of 
programs, institutions, and activities linked 
to cultural conservation. 

In recent decades the task of compiling 
reference and other informational data has 
been performed by the head of acquisitions 
for the Center’s Archive of Folk Culture, 
Joseph C. Hickerson. With assistance from in¬ 
terns and fellow staff members, a large num¬ 
ber of reference aids were prepared and 
maintained to assist researchers who have vis¬ 
ited and corresponded with the Center seeking 
information and reference services relating 
to collections and to the broader areas of 
folklife studies and professional activities. 
Several of these reference aids became the 
bases for sections of this directory. The 
sources and resources they list have become 
so multiple and varied, and public request 
for information has become so overwhelm¬ 
ing, that by the 1980s a unified directory and 
a more formal management of network 
information seemed a warranted and useful 
contribution to the field. 

In preparing this new edition of Folklife 


Sourcebook, copies of the descriptions pub¬ 
lished in the 1986 edition were sent to all 
archives and university programs for updat¬ 
ing. Additionally, archives and major collec¬ 
tions brought to our attention since the first 
sourcebook were queried, resulting in several 
new additions. Updates for other sections 
were made through consultation with the in¬ 
formational resource files maintained in the 
Archive of Folk Culture and the notes and 
materials accumulated with the eventual up¬ 
date in mind. 

Readers may notice a number of changes 
from the first edition: (1) In recognition of 
one of the most important developments in 
the profession, the section formerly titled 
“State Folk Cultural Programs” is now titled 
“Public Folk Cultural Programs.” During re¬ 
cent years, there has been an increase in the 
numbers of and in the level of commitment 
to on-going folklife programs within institu¬ 
tions and agencies in many states. (2) Cana¬ 
dian materials have been dropped from the 
body of each section in favor of a brief ap¬ 
pendix introducing readers to a few resources 
from which they may seek additional assis¬ 
tance. Although the reference service of the 
American Folklife Center does maintain con¬ 
siderable information on Canadian resources, 
it is not comparable in scope and depth to 
that of the United States. (3) A similar intro¬ 
ductory section for Mexico is also included. 
Folklorists should begin to look to our south¬ 
ern neighbor and beyond to Central and 
South America to better serve, study, and 
appreciate a growing number of U.S. citizens 
and new arrivals from these regions. (4) An 
index by state is provided for public folk cul¬ 
tural programs, archives, and universities. 

The success of this publication rests en¬ 
tirely on the support and responsiveness of 
the network of institutions and individuals 
cited on its pages. We extend our gratitude 
to them for their assistance and friendship.

Folklife Sourcebook 


In as much as this publication rests on the 
foundation of the 1986 edition, we remain 
appreciative of the past efforts of Ronald L. 
Baker, Barbara Fertig, Aldona M. Kaman- 
tauskas, and Michael Licht. For this new 
edition, special acknowledgement and ap¬ 
preciation are due to Barbara Tenenbaum, 
who generously contributed to the chapter 
on Mexican resources; Jennifer A. Cutting, 


for her compilation of recording companies; 
Center intern Natalie Sarrazin, for general 
assistance; James Hardin, for assistance and 
editing from concept to production; and 
especially to Joseph C. Hickerson, for his 
continued management of the informadonal 
resources contained in the Archive of Folk 
Culture.

FEDERAL AGENCIES 


Beginning with the establishment of the 
Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of 
Congress in 1928, the federal government 
has provided long-range programmatic and 
financial support to the conservation and 
study of traditional culture in the United 
States. The Smithsonian Institution began its 
annual Festival of American Folklife in 1967 
and today operates the Center for Folklife 
Programs and Cultural Studies. The National 
Endowment for the Arts established its Folk 
Arts Program in 1974. The American Folklife 
Center was established in 1976 with the pas¬ 
sage of Public Law 94-201, the American 
Folklife Preservation Act. Other federal agen¬ 
cies including the Departments of Interior, 
Education, Agriculture, and The Environ¬ 
mental Protection Agency, as well as the 
National Endowment for the Humanities, 
have coordinated and funded important pro¬ 
jects. 

The agencies cited engage in a broad 
range of consultation and public programs 
and produce scholarly and informational 
publications relating to their programs and 
activities.

HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN FOLKLIFE AND FOLKLORE 


The professional study of folklore in the 
United States began in earnest in 1888 with 
the formation of the American Folklore So¬ 
ciety, comprised of scholars representing a 
broad range of university departments, in¬ 
cluding literature, anthropology, music, lan¬ 
guages, sociology, and others. Specialized 
doctoral and masters degree programs have 
been administered by universities for several 
decades. The degree granting institutions 
listed below are followed by a list of univer¬ 
sity programs offering degrees in other 
fields with formal recognition of concentra¬ 
tions or minors in folklore or folklife stud¬ 
ies. Not cited here are the numerous other 
universities offering coursework in folklore. 
Results of the most recent survey of folklife 
courses offered in the United States are re¬ 
ported in the Journal of American Folklore 99, 
no. 391, (January-April, 1986).

SOCIETIES 


State, local, and regionally oriented soci¬ 
eties have historically played a major role in 
support of folklife studies, cultural conser¬ 
vation, and the perpetuation and presen¬ 
tation of traditional culture—particularly 
music, dance, and storytelling genres. In ad¬ 
dition to the large number of societies with 
general public membership, there are also 
professional societies characterized by their 
interests in scholarly research and writing. 
Many of the societies listed below have serial 
publications ranging from newsletters to 
journals. Because of the nature of member¬ 
ship organizations, the addresses provided 
are subject to change with the election of

DIRECTORIES 


To supplement this directory, readers may 
wish to consult a number of other guides to 
general and specific topics or networks. The 
comprehensive and readily available Direct¬ 
ory of Directories (listed below) provides 
ample content analysis and includes price 
and ordering information. Other directories 
are general resources for the folklife field. 
Covering a broad range of topics and organi¬ 
zations, they reflect the breadth of subject 
matter, activities, and consideradons that en¬ 
gage folklorists and other workers in the pub¬ 
lic and academic sectors. Such directories 
provide data ranging from addresses and op¬ 
erational information for museums, federal 
agencies, and state organizadons to listings of 
private foundations and funding resources. 
Directory sections are also frequently in¬ 
cluded in many serial publications such as 
Folk Alliance, Dulcimer Player News, Living Blues, 
and the Neiusletter of the North Carolina Folklore 
Society.

APPENDIX B 


INTRODUCTION TO FOLKLIFE RESOURCES IN MEXICO 


Due to a distinctly different demographic 
history than that of the United States, folklife 
resources in Mexico are generally described 
as “popular culture” and “anthropology.” 
Hence, readers will note little use of the 
terms “folklore” and “folklife.” The citations 
below are considerablly briefer than those 
for Canada. Users of this directory are en¬ 
couraged to write to the Center with addi¬ 
tional names of institutions and organizations 
that maintain programs of study, preserva- 
uon, and presentations of traditional cultures 
in Mexico. 

We gratefully acknowledge assistance in 
the compilation of this section from Barbara 
A. Tenenbaum, specialist in Mexican cul¬ 
ture, Hispanic Division, Library of Congress.
